Hi zapper, the only thing to remember is that if you only replace your cd-rom then your cd-rw drive will still not be able to play DVD's so you will not be able to do quick copies on the fly. So you will have to copy the original dvd to your hard drive and then copy to dvd-r media, which will all take twice as long. If you are copy to hard drive you may as well rip the dvd and put onto vcd, which is cheapest way. DVD-r discs are 79p if bought in packs of 25, so they are getting cheaper, but obviously the drive is quite a bit.
So maybe needs more thought before you splash out, and realise you need to spend more.
